Bentley LEAP Bridge Is:
• ONE fully-integrated application
• ONE seamless Geometry, Super and Sub Structure program
• ONE central application for data exchange
• ONE database – one or more bridges

RC-PIER(LFD & LRFD Integrated
Pier Design)
Bridge Analysis & Design Software
GEOMATH(Parametric Bridge
Geometry & Layout)
CONBOX(LFD & LRFD Post-Tensioned
CIP Box Girder)
ABC Wizard for Bridge Definition
ABC Wizard – Multiple Bridges
GEOMATH
GEOMATH• GEOMATH is fully parametric
keeping track of critical information
pertinent to each project
component. For example, changes
made in an alignment, profile or
superelevation are reflected in the
final bridge model.
• Reports include geometric design
information on abutments, pier caps
pedestals, beam seats, deck
contours, screed and final deck
elevations at user-specified points
along the span.
• Material quantities, including deck
concrete, haunch build up and deck
reinforcing are automatically
calculated.
Geometry Modifications…e.g. Flared Girders
CONSPAN
CONSPAN• LFD & LRFD Simple and
Continuous Prestressed Beam Design
• Library contains all standard AASHTO girders, bulb tees, box beams, double and single tee, rectangular beams, etc. and users can add customized cross-sections.
• Automatically calculates distribution factors, impact/dynamic allowance factors, allowable stresses, etc.
• Grillage-based option for computing more refined distribution factors for many geometry configurations.

CONSPAN Enhancements in V8i
• Deck Rebar design (Phase 1 - Empirical Method)
• Support AASHTOWARE Virtis/Opis v6.0.0
• Bug Fixes
• Pull (/Jacking Force) and CG method of defining strands
• GUI updates – Updated spreadsheet-type controls in Analysis Tab
• Option to create user library of strand patterns
CONBOX
CONBOX
• LRFD and AASHTO Standard Design and Analysis of Cast-In-Place Post-Tensioned/Reinforced Concrete Box Girder and Cast in Place Concrete Slab Bridges
• You can design using one code and simply toggle to the other code for quick and complete design comparisons. This powerful feature makes your transition to LRFD quick, easy, and cost-effective
Export to DGN
CONBOXEnhancements in V8i
• Shear Design Update– Sections with less than minimum amount of shear reinforcement
– Auto Design
• Face of Support– Optional critical section for design
• Allowable Stresses Terminology– Consistent with AASHTO specs
• Load Combination Definitions– Increased user control
• Minimum P-Jack, f’ci, f’c
– Increased user control
• Effective web width– Revision for LRFD-California option
• Automatic tendon definitions for hinged spans
RC-PIER
RC-PIER• Design of reinforced concrete
bridge substructures and foundations.
• Piers types are multi-column and hammerhead piers with straight, tapered or variable caps, and circular, rectangular (tapered and non-tapered) or drilled-shaft columns.
• Footing types include isolated or combined, supported on either soil or piles.
• Integrated design of cap, biaxial columns, and footings using LFD, LRFD or working stress methods.
• Strut-and-Tie (STM) modeling to obtain optimized structures.

RC-PIEREnhancements in V8i
• Battered Piles– Pile reactions, vertical
– Pile reactions, horizontal
• Abutment Tab– New Module!
– Case 1: Pile Cap Abutment
– Case 2: Stem Wall Abutment• On piles
• On spread footing

Database Exchange
LEAP Bridge is also a central command for data exchange between AASHTO BridgeWARE database and any other LandXML compliant applications:
Leap Bridge Configurations
LEAP Bridge
• Small to medium prestressed/precast and long-span post-tensioned concrete bridges in North America.
• Most widely used solutions for design of concrete bridges in North America: more then 2000 Users in North America, 38 DOTs.
• Increasing interaction with other BrIM products
